Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Charlotte,
A fantastic picture of one of the three Kings riding on his Camel (Ship of the Desert) created by your Artist's eye for composition, very skilful draftsmanship with Pointallism, beautiful choice & application of your colours in bringing this King on his Camel to life on your canvas.

Comment from Jennifer Lancaster


This would look great on a religious Christmas card. Great job on the pointillism. I haven't seen anyone do that on this site before. Taking me back to my college days.

I love this! Very simple yet creative! It shouts Christmas! I could picture this on a Christmas card. The colors and tones are really lovely. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

I know how much work goes into this kind of art. I could never do this as I do not have patience for dots work. Love the subject. AS the guy decides to turn around to follow that star. Well done.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


With the precision of countless dots, the pointillism rendering of a wise man unfolds, a mosaic of patience and purpose, capturing the essence of his presence through the artful dance of meticulously placed points. I love this artwork. Bravo. My first six for the week goes to this lovely job!

A very good looking seasonal image posted here! Your fine and full composition offers us an enjoyable view of one of those brave explorers. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well painted!

Comment from Ray Gordon


Charlotte, this is a beautiful example of dot art. The presentation is excellent, the Black and gray dots you used define the shadows and form. Pointallism is the use of tiny colored dots, red, yellow and blue and black is not used. Nicely done and the best of luck in the contest. Ray

    Thank you very much Ray! Your kind words mean a lot to me.

    And there I was thinking I was so clever using a technical term - only to get it wrong! Duh!! 🤣😂😅

    Charlotte, It is a common mistake made by many, but just a label. It doesn't take away from the intricate and beautiful piece you presented. Ray
Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn


This is so beautiful and very well presented. I love the angle of the camel and the shades and tones. Composition is perfectly rendered. I also love the background. Thank you for sharing.
